MS and Numbness

I agree that it's comforting to know that numbness does not necessarily mean the MS is progressing, nor does it mean you are having a relapse. All ten toes and two fingers on my dominant hand are numb. I was diagnosed in 2012 and have had very little MS activity since my diagnosis. These new symptoms came out of the blue recently. I look forward to when it stops because it's super annoying. Thankfully, there's no pain.

Numbness and tingling in my last three fingers, arm under and side.and freezing all right side. Glad to find you today. Mri scheduled for wed.

Once again you read my mind. I have started the hand and foot numbness. I dropped and broke my red Correll ware coffee cup a couple of days ago, so there's that. This was very helpful. I was wondering if the MS was progressing in my spine. I had a MRI on my brain and it was very little change since 2012. Didn't have spine checked. The damage in my T10 and T11 area is why I haven't been able to walk or move my legs for about 15 years or so. So glad they make wheelchairs and vehicles to carry them in. Take care.

Thank you for this detailed information. My symptoms are similar to yours. Constant numbness in my hands. More so the left hand. My neurologist prescribed baclofen and gabapentin which I did not take. Like you its more annoying than painful. Those meds could cause more issues than I want. I was never offered steriods which surprises me.

helpful - thank you. I'm waiting for a diagnosis

I have had MS for maybe 10 years now but just diagnosed last September. I have tingling and tightness in my knees. It’s so bothersome 😢

Diagnosed 2000, I've experienced numbness and tingling in ankles, feet from the start. I started having problems with my hands around 8 yrs ago. I've tried the gabapenton and also the amytriptyline without much success for a few years after initial diagnosis. I was perscribed Solumedrol as an IV mumerous times for exacerbations when I was still trying to work at a job. I would have a home nurse come into my home and setup the IV and stay until it was done each day, for 5 days. Then I would be perscribed perdnizone to taper off of the solumedrol, taking less each day for another few days. I enjoyed your video and wanted to give you some feedback on your questions on these medications. Hope you are as good as you can be, and take care!

Thanks for the information, really appreciate.

I would suggest watching Dr. Alan Macdonald‘s YouTube discussion on his autopsies on 10 MS patients where he found parasites in all of their cerebral spinal fluid‘s.

I know there are people living with MS since 1980s, which gives me hope. I had first simptoms around a decade ago, maybe a bit earlier, but had no idea, what that is - just a slight dizziness sometimes, thought I'm tired and need to get more sleep. 6,5 years ago it got much more serious and throughout whole 2022 my ability to walk shrunk, now I can make around 500m in 10-15 minutes, but only on smooth pavement, if it's gravel, sand or a walkway with potholes, I'm doomed to be exhausted after only a couple of dozen of meters. Speaking of numbness, and tingling, it affects my left palm (slightly, been like that since late 2019, but it's better now) and right foot (not all of the time). I wonder, if anyone else has this impression or is it just me - I feel much better after eating. Maybe that's because I'm sitting down and resting while eating, but what if it has something to do with glucose level?

I have these symptoms but my neurologist is convinced it's FND. I am celiac as well which is related to MS. I hope I can çonvimce him this time as I am overwhelmed with numbness s awful sharp pain, balance awful fatigue. Do you find sometimes you function to a high level and then crash?

I have Correll. Glasses are going fast, don't like to drink from plastc

Pam. My name is Ellen ppms 33 yrs. Can we discuss everything?!!!!

Is your feeling back yet? I have terrible numbness and weakness in my hands/fingers. Numb arms too. Life has become so hard for the past 6 weeks. I can't knit or write. It's soooo hard.

I’m wondering if anyone else experiences this, but when I have a shower and the water is too warm, patches of my skin go numb 😅
